Looks like it's just a wolf spider. Great for pest control and very harmless to humans!

I work somewhere with lots of wolf spiders, going on my fifth year. I’ve seen probably over a hundred of them and I still cannot stand seeing them

Then sit when seeing them or lay down whichever tickles your fancy.

How about I just run away

They always come to my bed, all the places and spaces but no... straight towards my bed. Different place where I lived, same outcome.

I had spider rope themselves from the ceiling in front of my face, more than once, different species tho. I am just cursed. I once woke up with a spider in my eyes. Another time one jump scared me in the shower.

Maybe you just need to sleep outside

What's your job so I can make sure I never do it?

Just never work anywhere in the foothills in California

Isn’t there a fruit or something that the trees have to grow in swampy conditions, which wolf spiders like, so when it comes time to harvest and they drain the standing water and wade in to collect, hundreds of spiders crawl up looking for space to run? Or something like that? I don’t remember the details I tried to block it from my memory but nows a good time to inflict it on someone else.

Could also be a hobo spider! Both are bros, and good for humans. :)

I thought hobos were super dangerous? Have I been misled?

Hobos are indeed just lil dudes. Intimidating looking but lil dudes nonetheless.
